What I'm wondering is, how does it work out certain situations? For example: The ultimate goal of an enemy AI is to shoot at the player. To do this, it must have a line of sight to the player. Figuring out where to stand seems to me eq

What I'm asking is, at what time is someone bound by the terms of the GPL? See for example the IPC loophole, dynamic linking, etc.
63.
by E6300 10y ago
So, to bridge the analogy, what would be the "before paying" state of a GPL'd work? The GPL does not, to my knowledge, clearly define this, and there's disagreement among the experts.

1993 is nowhere near close to the early days of microcomputers.

Heh. Whoops. Old habits.

by E6300 10y ago
Ah, alright. When you said "early days of microcomputers" I was rather thinking about the Atari 2600. The VM approach was in absolute terms actually pretty unusual in the late 80s/early 90s, AFAIK. Perhaps counting only cross

This intrigues me, as it clashes with everything I know about how classic game software was designed. Around what decade are we talking about? Can you name one or two examples of games that were designed like this?

by E6300 10y ago
You can think of it like that, but really it's closer to a simple abstraction layer.

> 88 percent of all integers have a PRIME factor under 100 In fact, all integers have at least one prime factor under 100, since is_prime(n) implies is_prime(-n).

That's just another level of indirection. "I'm not selling guns, I'm selling machines that automatically make guns." "I'm not selling malware. I'm selling random bitstrings. Here's the email of s

Well, I've heard of quite a few malware pieces. I've never heard of hand-crafted black market AR-15s.

More like because they've done a good-enough job and because most distributions are free of charge. (Don't get your knickers in a knot. I'm not banging on Linux.)

I mean, are we talking about just regulating or about actually enforcing regulations?

> Sales would be the point of control. Do you mean sales of the software itself? There's no way that could work. Secretly transferring a bitstring is one of the easiest things to do. At best you could catch the money laundering. &gt

How could that possibly work? Gun manufacture requires machinery and resources, and drug production requires specific knowledge that's not widely disseminated. Anyone can learn how to write software.

The article talks about "no lanes, no separation, no stopping distances, and no signals, (except of course for pedestrians to cross)", though. How will no traffic signals work with manual traffic? For example, in an intersection w

As far as I know, the only languages supported for Windows kernel development are C and C++.

I'm on Windows, though.

What about kernel drivers?

So your only rebuttal is "nuh-uh"? In that case, I say "yuh-huh". See my sibling response.

No. In other words: your well-being is your problem. Don't expect other people to change their behavior for your sake. If you don't take care of yourself, no one will.

Maintaining your health and the health of those under your care is your own responsibility. You don't get to blame other people when you get yourself infected.

I'm talking about Ayurveda. To recap: you claimed that meat-based diets and pharmaceuticals cause more harm (in absolute terms) than Ayurveda, and I countered that the comparison is invalid because Ayurveda is practiced at a scale that

"Your" as in "the one you brought up". What does history or the Bay Area have to do with this discussion?
